Bus route updates for families that live in the 650E to 250E area of Burley/Declo/Springdale area:
The School Board met and discussed the transportaion issue of double/cross busing last night at their public meeting (8-18). The issue stems from a change in state funding that now removes the $80-100K that it costs to run buses from this area of the district to both Burley and Declo schools. The school district has decided against drawing a hard line for attendance zones this year and will provide a shuttle service to both schools.
What does this mean?
There will be a school bus that picks up your student at their regular stop. Buses will then take your child/children to the Springdale school where they will get on another bus to go to either Burley or Declo. Because of the logisitics of this situation and overall safety concerns, parents will not be able to pick up or drop off students at the shuttle stop.
THERE IS MORE INFORMATION coming and families that are impacted by this change WILL BE NOTIFIED. Our transporation folks are furiously working on maps, instructions, etc that we will get to families by early next week.
Why now?
The School Board is also not thrilled with the timing. This change was given to them just last week. We are working to get all the important facts together in one document and make parents aware ASAP. We know there will be questions and we are working to get answers and information to you.
